NYPL's audiobook collection is published on our QA circulation manager.
| Vendors | DRM Type | Audiobook titles available | Audiobook titles needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baker & Taylor (Axis 360) | Findaway | None | We need at least one title to verify the Axis 360 API is working |
| Bibliotheca (cloudLibrary) | Findaway | Star Trek: The Original Series: Vulcan's Soul #1: Exodus Blood for Blood Tales of the Peculiar Heart of Henry Quantum, The Lockwood & Co. The Creeping Shadow Most Dangeros | This is fine for testing purposes. The titles are available from NYPL's QA circulation manager. |
| Overdrive | Time-limited download URLs with key-based access | NYPL holds a large number of audiobook titles from Overdrive but we do not have the key necessary to ask them for time-limited download URLs | We don't need books, we need that API key. |
| RBdigital | Time-limited download URLs with key-based access | NYPL does not hold any titles from RBdigital, but Los Angeles Public Library does, and they've shared the credentials with us for testing purposes. We can test this locally, but there's no way to do an end-to-end test, since we can't import LAPL titles into NYPL's circulation manager, even on QA. | If we want to do an end-to-end test we either need some books of our own, or we need to work with a library such as LAPL which already has titles from RBdigital. |
| LibreVox | None | Internet Archive intends to make these audiobooks available in an OPDS catalog. What's missing here is the OPDS catalog, not the books themselves. |
